After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

Xiao Ziran accompanied Zhong Ruhuang to eat a little more.

He thought that His Highness had forgotten about returning home.

Unexpectedly, His Highness had not forgotten at all and had even asked someone to prepare it long ago.

After finishing breakfast, Zhong Ruhuang washed her hands and rinsed her mouth.

King Wu's clothing has been delivered from the Imperial Household Department.

The clothing of prince-level officials is not light yellow like the clothes of princesses, but black and red. There are two types. One is the court dress worn when attending court, which is black and red embroidered with Vermilion Bird patterns.

There is another one which is also black and red, and is considered to be the attire for attending banquets. It is black and red, and is embroidered with phoenix patterns.

Zhong Ruhuang was wearing a black and red dress embroidered with a phoenix pattern today. After all, returning to her parents' home was a big day.

Compared to her King Wu costume, Xiao Ziran, as her husband, King Wu, wore bright red costume with phoenix patterns on it, which, combined with the phoenix jade crown, made him look very noble.

Zhong Ruhuang looked at the clothes she and Xiao Ziran were wearing, both of them were pretty good.

She took Xiao Ziran's hand, walked out of the main courtyard, out of the East Fifth Building, and got on the carriage at the door.

Zhang Yufeng and his servants knelt down and saw him off respectfully.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhong Ruhuang asked Xiao Ziran to go in first, and she waved to Zhang Yufeng.

"Zhang, get up and go back to rest. I will come to see you in the evening."

After saying that, Zhong Ruhuang got into the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage began to turn.

Zhang Yufeng was helped up by his personal palace man Shi Hua and Xu Nanny. He watched the carriage leave with a rare complicated look in his eyes.

He is not the legal husband, so there is no possibility of him receiving a return visit gift.

After entering Zhong Ruhuang's backyard, even if he wanted to go back to his mother's home, he would have to see whether the prince and the queen agreed.

"Husband, let's go back to the East Courtyard."

As soon as Uncle Xu saw the look in Zhang Yufeng's eyes, he knew that he was a little unhappy at the moment.

But that’s the way the world is.

The constraints on men are great.

There's nothing you can do if you're unhappy.

Zhang Yufeng nodded and returned to his east courtyard.

In order to prevent him from thinking too much, Uncle Xu brought a sewing basket.

"Side husband, I have inquired and my husband is already making pajamas for His Highness."

This is no secret either.

In addition, Grandpa Xu also asked Fan Yu and the others about the news.

When Zhang Yufeng heard this, he stopped thinking about anything else. He was slow at making things and his craftsmanship was only acceptable, but he had learned everything a man should learn.

It is his job to serve his wife.

He quickly started to select the fabric, planning to first make a set of pajamas and pants for Zhong Ruhuang, and then embroider a bellyband.

With this distraction, he soon became addicted to embroidery.

Zhong Ruhuang was sitting in the carriage, followed by three carts of gifts, all of which were return gifts that she had asked Fan Yu to prepare.

She did not go through the palace gate. She did not hold an official position now, so she was not qualified to go through the palace gate.

So I went through the east door.

Go out of the east door and head south.

Chaotian City is divided into inner city and outer city.

After all, the Xiao family is one of the top ten imperial merchants, so they have some status, so they live in the southern inner city.

There are not many pedestrians in the inner city, most of them are servants of each family, or vendors with some connections.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the Xiao family.

The somewhat obese head of the Xiao family had already been waiting at the door with his family.

She already knew that Zhong Ruhuang had been named King Wu, and she also knew that Xiao Ziran was now the honorable husband of King Wu.

An hour ago, someone came to inform her that His Royal Highness the King of Wu would bring Xiao Ziran back home, so she hurriedly packed up with her family and waited at the door.

Seeing the carriage coming, the head of the Xiao family, including the servants, all knelt down.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness King Wu, and welcome to His Royal Highness King Wu."

Xiao Ziran's stepfather, Wang, knelt behind the head of the Xiao family, feeling quite uncomfortable.

How great it would be if Xiao Ziran was his biological son, or how great it would be if he had a son as old as Xiao Ziran.

Maybe this enormous wealth belongs to his son, and not the son born to that bitch Niu.

Zhong Ruhuang came out of the carriage, holding Xiao Ziran's hand.

"Master Xiao, you are too polite. Let's all get up."

She spoke very politely.

Also very distant.

Not very close.

She didn't treat the head of the Xiao family as her real mother-in-law, she was just polite to her.

Considering the status of the royal merchant of the Xiao family, there was nothing wrong with Zhong Ruhuang being so polite.

Patriarch Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong.

Her chubby face was filled with a warm smile.

"Your Highness, please come in."

The head of the Xiao family stepped back half a step and invited Zhong Ruhuang to enter first.

Who made Zhong Ruhuang a princess of noble status, and an unattainable person for the Xiao family?

Zhong Ruhuang took Xiao Ziran's hand and walked into the Xiao family's house calmly without any courtesy, entered the main hall, and sat down in the main seat.

Xiao Ziran sat down on her left.

Both sides spoke politely.

Wang looked at her daughter and son, then pulled her son back.

As a man, he had no right to stay here and listen to such a scene. He still had to go downstairs to arrange the banquet.

No matter how much he disliked Xiao Ziran, he had to consider his daughter.

Xiao Ziran was not familiar with the mother of the Xiao family head, so he greeted her in a dry manner for a few times and then had nothing else to say.

So, he quickly left the main hall.

Zhong Ruhuang glanced at Fan Yu.

Fan Yu followed him out.

This is also because we are afraid that Wang will play some tricks, so we should be on guard.

In the main hall, only Zhong Ruhuang, the head of the Xiao family, and Xiao Ziran's sister, Xiao Zigu, who was half a year younger than him, was left. She was a rather weak-looking woman.

Xiao Zihu looked silent and didn't like to talk much.

The head of the Xiao family kept speaking enthusiastically, not wanting the atmosphere to cool down.

Zhong Ruhuang said a word or two from time to time.

In fact, both parties are not familiar with each other and are just having an awkward chat.

There are only a few things we can talk about.

Fortunately, the return banquet started soon.

The women were at one table.

The men sat at one table.

In private, a wife and husband can eat at the same table.

But outside, they are all separated.

There were only three people at Zhong Ruhuang's table: she, Xiao Zigu, and the head of the Xiao family.

Separated by a screen were Xiao Ziran, his stepfather Wang, and his ten-year-old brother, Xiao Zihe.

"Your Highness, I'd like to offer you a toast."

The head of the Xiao family raised his glass to toast Zhong Ruhuang.

Zhong Ruhuang picked up the wine glass and drank.

After three rounds of drinks, they seemed to be much closer to each other.

Although the head of the Xiao family wanted to make plans for his only daughter, Xiao Zigu, it was not the time to do so.

This is the first time I'm back home.

When His Highness moves to Prince Wu’s Palace, there will be plenty of time for us to visit each other, and this way our relationship will be closer.

After the return banquet.

Zhong Ruhuang did not stay long, but took Xiao Ziran away from the Xiao family.

She didn't drink much.

After entering the carriage, he drank the sobering soup that had been prepared.

"Fan Yu, go to Prince Wu's Palace."

Generally, when a princess reaches the age of thirteen, a palace will be built. The palace of a favored princess will be close to the palace, while the palace of an unfavored princess will be farther away from the palace.

For example, Zhong Ruhuang's Prince Wu's Mansion is quite far away from the imperial palace. It is located in the northeast corner of the East Inner City, which is quite far away.
